I'm having trouble getting a brand new Accton EN1207 (Cheetah) to work
on my FreeBSD 2.2.6-STABLE system. The adapter is detected as follows:

de0 <Digital 21140A Fast Ethernet> rev 34 int a irq 5 on pci0:9:0
de0: ACCTON EN1207 21140A [10-100Mb/s] pass 2.2
de0: address 00:00:e8:4a:83:63
de0: enabling 100baseTX port

I have set up the following in rc.conf.local:

network_interfaces="lo0 de0 lp0"
ifconfig_de0="inet 62.92.165.69 netmask 255.255.224.0"

I have also tried:

network_interfaces="lo0 de0 lp0"
ifconfig_de0="inet 62.92.165.69 netmask 255.255.224.0 media 10baseT/UTP"

IP, netmask, gateway, etc. are all correct - everything works
perfectly with my old 3Com 3c509 (ep0).

I get a link light on the hub when I connect to it - the hub and the
cable are known to be working. If I try to ping the broadcast address,
the link light will blink once a second (as one would expect) but it
would seem that no data is getting through.

I need to get this working within 24 hours if at all possible, so I'd
appreciate a quick response from anybody who has experience with that
adapter and/or chipset.
